Lump Soup Recipes

LUMP SOUP

Steps:

• Beat the egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water well. Gradually add flour until thick.
• Spoon into boiling water by 1/4-1/2 teaspoonfuls by dipping spoon in boiling water first then spooning dough into water (they come off easier that way). Cook 5-10 minutes.
• Drain off all water.
• Heat milk, put noodles back in, add butter or margarine, salt, and pepper.

KK'S CREAM OF CRAB SOUP

Steps:

• Gently remove cartilage from crab meat.
• Melt butter in a 2-3 quart sauce pan.
• Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes - until translucent.
• Blend in flour and cook as a roux on medium-low heat until the flour-butter mixture "loosens", which indicates the flour is cooked (about 5 minutes).
• Off the heat, stir in chicken broth and sherry, return to the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add salt, pepper, milk and cream, then stir in Tabasco, cayenne and sugar.
• Use a little of the liquid to thin the tomato paste and stir it back into the soup.
• Cook on med-low heat until thickened, but do not let it boil.
• Taste it, and when the cream base is cooked and seasoned to your liking, add the crab.
• Heat gently another 5 minutes and serve.
• Serving suggestion: make a lightly sweetened whipped cream to dollop on top and serve with a small pitcher of the sherry to add at the table.
• A small amount of fresh chopped parsley around the edge of a soup plate is attractive, but don't use too much because you don't want to affect the flavor of the soup.

LUMP FREE EASY GRAVY

Steps:

• Bring canned broth to a low boil in a saucepan.
• Put cornstarch in a DRY container with a tight fitting lid. Add COLD water and shake until completely dissolved.
• Whisk into hot broth and cook just until the gravy is the desired consistency.
• Now you have a smooth base and can add herbs, a splash of wine, some worcestershire or whatever you may wish to add or just serve as is. I always dress it up with something even if it is just a little poultry seasoning for a poultry broth or some worcestershire for beef gravy.
